We got back from our Disney trip last Thurday and I'm just now getting enough of my energy back to post about it. If you noticed, I put trip and not vacation because going through Disney World is definitely not a vacation for parents. :) The boys had an absolute blast, of course, and we were blessed with wonderful weather!


We flew in on Sunday morning, checked in at Coranado Springs and let Ky take a nap, then headed to Epcot. It wasn't crowded at all and the only ride we had to wait on was Test Track, which Jayden and Talan loved. All the other rides we walked right on to. It was awesome to not have to wait in line for the rides, especially during spring break! We then ate at Japanese restaurant in Epcot, the food was so good. Jarrad enjoyed flirting with the waitress, while speaking to her in Japanese. :)


The next two days we spent in Magic Kingdom. We were so lucky these two days, because the longest line we waited in was 25 minutes. The first day, we got through all of Fantasy Land and Frontier Land, except Splash Mountain. It was a blast. The second day at Magic Kingdom was even better than the first, because it rained a little in the morning no one came! We went to Futureworld and walked on rides, it was heaven. Jayden went on Space Mountain 3 times and we walked on to Splash Mountain 2 times. I don't know how we got so lucky, because those two rides usually have over an hour wait. Jayden and Talan went on every ride they were able to go on, so it was definitely money well spent. Kylen loved going on the rides too, but he favorite thing to do was go ride on the train that went around the park(At least we didn't have to pay for his ticket)! Talan's favorite ride was Splash Mountain and driving the cars in Future World. Jayden loved Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. I think my fav would be Splash Mountain. Space Mountain was fun, but I was in the very last car and man did it ever kill my neck. Getting old sucks!


On our last day in Disney our luck caught up with us. We went to Animal Kingdom and it was sooo busy! We could barely walk through the park, it was insane. We only went on a few rides, because we couldn't stand the crowds, not to mention we were on our 4th day of rides, Jarrad and I were ready to be done. We ended up going to the Rainforest Cafe that was in the park and that was a good time and it got us away from the crowds for a little bit. We left not long after that and headed back to the resort for one last swim.


Needless to say, we had a great time with the boys. It was fun to see how excited the boys were, but we were completely exhausted once we were home. Disney is definitely a trip to take every few year, because it wears you out! Next spring break will be at a beach where I can soak up the sun watching the boys play in the water! :)
